Th13teen - POV After Dark (Alton Towers)

TH13TEEN at Alton Towers Resort is the world's first vertical freefall drop roller coaster. Located in the Dark Forest section of the theme park, this steel multi-dimension coaster opened on 20 March 2010, replacing the iconic Corkscrew roller coaster. It was built by manufacturer Intamin at a cost of £15 million.

The Woods: The train climbs a 65-foot lift hill before layout out into a fast, sweeping outdoor section full of sharp, banked turns through the trees. 2. The Crypt: The train enters a pitch-black indoor crypt building where it comes to a sudden stop. 3. The Freefall Drop: In complete darkness, the entire section of track mechanically drops 5 metres (16.4 feet) downward, simulating a terrifying freefall. 4. The Backward Escape: Immediately after the drop, the coaster launches backwards through a subterranean upward helix before resetting via a switch track to return to the station Attribute: Lx 26-09-2026 * #pov #altontowers #dark #th13teen #night
